155 Michael Dawson has heaped praise on Liverpool No.84 Conor Bradley ahead of the Carabao Cup final.
The 40-year-old made the comments when speaking on Sky Sports Soccer Saturday.
So, what did Michael Dawson say about Liverpool wonderkid Conor Bradley? Let’s take a look…
Michael Dawson hails Conor Bradley
Well, the man from Northallerton is stunned by how seamlessly the Northern Ireland international has adapted to life under Jurgen Klopp at Anfield.
Dawson said: “Since Conor Bradley has gone in, he’s been absolutely magnificent. Wow. He has certainly grabbed his chance with both hands. He gets upfield, he creates. For such a young player, he makes the right decisions more often than not.
“He has been a revelation. He really, really has. He’s been great for Jurgen Klopp.”
Spot on – we have rarely witnessed a young talent adapt to Premier League football in this manner.
Bradley has only made four Premier League appearances – but has impressively averaged a goal involvement per game with one strike and three assists to his name.
Liverpool have to keep Conor Bradley involved
Dawson also mentioned that he doubts Klopp would have even used Bradley if Andy Robertson and Trent Alexander-Arnold had avoided injuries, which raises an interesting debate.
In truth, the German probably wouldn’t have played the 20-year-old as much as he has, had every senior player stayed fit, but now, he must find a way to keep him involved in the starting XI.
Bradley – who admitted he hates defending against Luis Diaz in training – really has been that good.
Whether than means fielding Alexander-Arnold centrally on a permanent basis, or another tactical adjustment, Klopp has to figure something out, and not just for the sake of rewarding an academy graduate.
Bradley has added so much to this Liverpool side, and hopefully, he can remain involved in the starting XI when the current absentees return.
